The Visitor



This was a great movie that everyone should see it on DVD. This movie was trying to portray that it only takes one to change your life. Director Tom McCarthy intention were to show that passion isn’t lost forever the right person just needs to come and awaken it. This film was successful as a movie. Not many people can relate with this storyline which makes it so unique. The acting was strong and true. This movie wasn’t made for entertainment; it is a drama filled film. Richard Jenkins approached his role with great sensitivity as Walter and he truly makes this a subtle and gentle film. I like this movie because Walter rekindled his strong passion and he showed me that passion is never lost, but it just needs a little help being found. I would recommend this film to others because this film is richly rewarding.

Precious


This movie was one of the best movies I have seen this year. It portrays Emotional abuse is the worst kind of abuse because it’s the hardest to heal from. DirectorLee Daniels does a great job in showing that emotional abuse can push people away from loved ones. This film was quite successful as a movie. The storyline was easy to follow and most people can relate to it. Also I thought the acting was great. Lee Daniels does a great job of using an assorted cast extending from pop stars and television personalities alongside trained and untrained actors and making it work. I really liked this movie because watching the protagonist Precious overcome extreme hardship and make a better life for her and children shows that obstacles can be conquered through perseverance. I would definitely recommend this film to others.

Saints Keep The Ball Rollin


The Saints crush the Patriots 38-17. Saints QB Drew Brees completed 18 of 23 passes for 371 yards and five touchdowns, to five different receivers. Just like Brees, the Saints defense dominated and was able to shutdown the NFL's No.2 offense. The defense recorded two sacks, forced a fumble and had two interceptions, including one by recently signed CB Mike McKenzie . It was over when safety Darren Sharper intercepted Tom Brady's pass in the fourth quarter with the New Orleans leading 38-17.

Saints Make It 10 In A Row


Saints stay perfect thrashing the Bucs 38-7. It wasn't the explosive offense of the Saints that dominated the game but the suffocating defense. The Saints defense only gave up 219 yards and forced four turnovers. They also sacked opposing QB Josh Freeman three times and harassed him the entire game forcing him to be inconsistent. Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams persistently called blitzes to cause confusion and he was quite successful. The Saints are starting to control games without much help from Drew Brees and the offense.

Saints Remain Undefeated


The Saints held off the Rams comeback to hold on to a 28-23 win. The Saints run defense was exposed, led by Steven Jackson. The Rams ran 29 times for 141 yards for an average of 4.9 yards per attempt. Most of the success came on runs inside the line of scrimmage. Although New Orleans used a lot of eight and nine-man fronts to stop Jackson, he continued to find open lane in the middle of the defense. The Rams must take care of this problem quickly or it can prove to be problem as games gain importance toward the end of the season.

On the other side the offense was explosive as usual. Saints RB Reggie Bush was a big-play threat out of the backfield for New Orleans. Bush rushed for 83 yards on eight carries, including a 55-yard run. He scored one rushing touchdown and a 15-yard scoring reception.

The New Orleans Saints #1


The Saints are the number one team in the National Football League currently. They have the best quarterback in the league in Drew Brees. He is top five in almost every statistic associated with quarterback. He's 3rd in passing percentage (68.3), 4th in total yards (2,336) ,1st in yards per play(8.8), and 4th in yards per game (292). With these outstanding numbers he leads the explosive New Orleans Saints Offense to a number one ranked scoring offense and a 8-0 record. Not only is the offense explosive but so is the defense. They are ranked number one in interceptions and defensive scoring. They have a total of 7 defensive touchdowns (5 interceptions and 2 fumble recoveries). They flat out makes plays when they need it the
most.
